5 Ways Cyberpunk 2077 Should Follow The Witcher 3's Lead
5. A Gwent Type Minigame
Cyberpunk 2077 should not include Gwent, obviously, as the card game would not fit the aesthetic of the world, but the game should try to include a mini-game that is as enjoyable as Witcher 3's Gwent.
Usually mini-games can be a fun little distraction to kill a bit of time between quests and are not anything substantial. Witcher 3 showed what mini-games could be special, as Gwent was more than a distraction, but rather a surprisingly deep and addictive addition.
Gwent is a card game that is simple to understand but still imbued with a good amount of strategy, such as deciding when to use a decoy card or even purposely losing a round to make your opponent use some of their best cards.
Over 100 cards are included in Witcher 3, which also adds a collectable element as well.
CD Projekt RED even released Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales which are two standalone Gwent games due to the mini-game's popularity,
Going around to different shopkeepers just to play Gwent added multiple hours to Witcher 3's game time, and Cyberpunk 2077 could benefit from that same replayability.
